The word taste is synonymous with subjectivity.

There are some things that are near universally despised, such as poo poo and burnt food (there's a biological basis for most things that are universally unappealing)

There are some things that some people like and others dislike, like oysters or offal (this can be down to personal preference)

And then there's the weird social taste patterns. The most glaring I can think of is doneness of red meat. Black people hate anything below medium well done. Now presuming that the factors that lead to this are either social, genetic or both - could it be that it's illogical to assert that rare - medium rare is an any more correct way to prepare a steak than burnt leather levels seen in the black community?
